Item Description
The parking lots around QVC Marine Field were closed because the land underneath them liquefied in the March 11 earthquake. Some scoreboards were turned off to save electricity, and a new inning could no longer begin after a game was three and a half hours old for the same reason. Flags at the stadium were flown at half-staff, and players on one of the teams, the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, wore patches on their uniforms that in effect urged their fans to “stick with it.”
